The eldest sister broke her leg, and she had to recuperate at home in the future, and she had to look at Erniang's face to live, Yun Xiu's tone was naturally much better, pushed her hand away, and explained: "I owe money to others, I work in other people's homes, I have been out for a day, even if I have to stay at home to take care of the eldest sister, I have to go back to the master's house to take a leave first." ”

It's just that Erniang nodded and admonished, "Be careful on the road." Holding his stomach again, he staggered back to the house.

When Yunxiu rushed to Gu Liu's house, Gu Liu was sitting in a wheelchair drinking Chinese medicine, maybe he gave a lot of reward, but this doctor took out what he had learned all his life, and every medicinal material was a top real material.

Qingqing had already followed Fu Sanye back, and they had urgent matters when they went back, so they drove back in a carriage overnight.

Yunxiu didn't come back for two days, and Aunt Li's son Xiaofuzi came over to follow Gu Liu, doing some work of serving tea and pouring water on the side, Xiaofuzi stood beside Gu Liu, looking like his son.

Although Qingqingren left, he still left a small box, saying that it was a gift for Yunxiu.

Packed in a wooden box, palm-sized. Yunxiu opened the box and saw that it was a doll, wearing a red dress and a yellow skirt, with beautiful patterns carved on it, and a long streamer hanging on the doll's arm. It is not like it is made of wood, it is heavy in the hand, and it has a lot of weight.

"Grinding and drinking, ceramic burning, the city girl's favorite fun."

Yun Xiu held the doll in her hand and looked at it for a long time, it was quite exquisite. But at this time, even if the most interesting things in the world were put in front of her, she was not interested.

"Master, I beg you!" Yun Xiu knelt beside Gu Liu with a plop.

"Borrow money, yes, you have to make an IOU." Before she could speak, Gu Liu knew that the matter of their family had already spread all over the city, and the doctor still sighed to Aunt Li when he came to see her.

This little girl ran back in a hurry, her attitude was so good, she should have come to borrow money urgently.

Yun Xiu nodded again and again, getting along with Gu Liu these days, she knew that although Gu Liu's words were not good, she was honest in her heart, and she would never bully people on the IOU because she didn't know how to read, and she dared to fight Gu Liu's IOU.

Gu Liuyan studied the ink, and when he picked up the pen to write an IOU, he asked, "How many taels do you want to borrow?" ”

……

Yun Xiu herself didn't know.

When she went out, she was in a hurry, and forgot to ask her eldest sister how many taels were written on the deed of sale. After thinking about it again, although she didn't know how many taels one person could sell, Gu Liu should know.

"How many taels of silver do you have to buy someone?"

"Buy someone. The prices for men, women, old and young are different. ”

"I'm like that." Yun Xiu pointed to himself and said, and hurriedly waved his hand, "It's about the same as me, how much do you think a girl about my age can buy?" ”

Gu Liu put down the pen in his hand and looked at Yun Xiu, "This is a scorer, a girl from a normal family buys it back to be a maid, and ten taels of silver can sign a deed of sale regardless of life or death, your estimate is only three dollars, after all, you can't lift your shoulders and can't resist, and you love to play with a little temper and eat a lot." ”

Ignoring his hurtful words behind him, Yun Xiu sighed with emotion: This year, a human life is not worth as much as a watermelon in Gu Liudi.

Stretched out two index fingers and folded them together and compared them to ten: "Master, I want to borrow ten taels of silver." As soon as Gu Liu picked up the pen to write, Yun Xiu changed his words again: "Twenty taels!" I want to borrow twenty taels! ”

She was afraid that if the money was not enough, the eldest sister would be taken away by the scoundrels of the Huang family, so she would simply borrow twenty taels first, and she would take back the more to Gu Liu.

"It's confirmed, twenty taels won't change?"

Yun Xiu nodded vigorously. Twenty taels, as long as she works here for a few more years here in Gu Liu, the eldest sister doesn't have to be a little wife for others.

pressed her fingerprint on the IOU, Yun Xiu took it in front of her eyes and looked at it again, she didn't know those words, and those words didn't know her, but as long as their sisters knew a few words, there would be no consequences today, illiterate, really harmful!

I took a few days off from Gu Liu and hurried home.

Spreading out the cloth bag, Yun Xiu spread out the twenty taels of silver in it and put it in Yun Dani's hand.

"Eldest sister, look at the whole twenty taels." With these twenty taels of silver, the eldest sister doesn't have to sell it to the Huang family, and she can get back her deed of sale.

Yun Dani looked at the twenty taels of silver in her palm, which was heavy, but it was not a taste in her heart.

Twenty taels, before a cabbage sank, it almost killed her, and her two legs were broken because of this.

The vicissitudes of the world, the lives of the croppers are really worthless!

"Xiu'er, when are we going to send the money to the Huang family?" Yun Dani asked. Her heart was always pounding, and there was a sound of wind and grass outside, and she was so nervous that her throat and eyes were pounding vigorously.

When she went to bed at night, she also dreamed that Master Huang came to take her away with a bandage and a few dog legs with dog skin plasters.

It's useless for Daddy and Yunxiu to beg behind them, who will let them take her deed of sale? With the deed of sale, even if the lawsuit is on the horizon, they have nowhere to reason.

"Send?" Yun Xiu shook her head, when she came out of Gu Liu's house, Gu Liu reminded her: Whenever you ask for someone, it may not be able to develop as you think.

She felt that Gu Liu's words were right, if they went to the town with money to find the Huang family to sell their deeds, and the Huang family opened their mouths and opened a heavenly family, even if they were bankrupt, they couldn't afford to pay for it.

Instead of waiting to be slaughtered like that, it is better to wait for the Huang family to be impatient and come to them with a deed of sale. When the time comes, it is time to lose money and lose money, and if you lose money, you will get back the deed of sale, and this matter will never be mentioned again.

After waiting for four or five days, I never saw anyone from the Huang family come to the door.

Erniang wants to go to her aunt's house and ask for the money from her aunt's sale of Dani back. Yun Carpenter stopped at the gate, kneeling there crying and pleading with snot and tears, and Erniang couldn't even get out of the gate.

When Yun Carpenter was young, his parents left early, and it was the eldest sister who raised him by washing the clothes of the people in the town while farming.

In winter, it was cold, and the eldest sister's hands were frozen like radish heads, and the cracks on them were full of blood, and the eldest sister also had to carry a basin of clothes to the river to dig an ice hole to wash clothes.

took the salary, he was hungry for other children's sugar gourds, the eldest sister gritted her teeth and bought him a bunch, he remembered clearly, that whole day, the eldest sister did not eat, lying in bed at night, the eldest sister's stomach rumbled, but he quibbled that he wanted to eat and heard the wrong sound.

This kindness, in the heart of Yun Carpenter, will not be repaid for a lifetime. The eldest sister did such a thing, and he also felt in his heart that the eldest sister must have really encountered difficulties, and there was no way to do it.

Seeing the appearance of the cloud carpenter, Erni took Si Ni and wiped her tears with half of her face behind the door. Yun Xiu could only sigh helplessly, her father always felt that it was difficult for her aunt to do anything, but she never felt that the eldest sister's life, she was her life!

In the afternoon, my aunt led Huzi to the cloud carpenter's house.

The second lady angrily took a knife in the kitchen and wanted to come out to hack them to death, but was stopped by her father. Dani cried heartbreakingly in the house, only hating that she couldn't walk, and couldn't kill the poisonous woman who had killed her herself.

Yun Xiu didn't want to see them, after all, although she couldn't tell anyone about the events of that night, but it happened, it happened.

Throwing a big eye, she didn't even look at their family, and moved the stool back to the house, and Erni and Sixi also moved all the chairs in the yard back to the house, leaving none for them.

There were no stools in the yard, so Daddy could only let his aunt and them stand at the door and talk.

My aunt and Huzi also received a little daughter-in-law this time.

Fourteen or fifteen years old, with a strong body, thick eyebrows and big eyes, standing beside Huzi with his head down, his cheeks were flushed and not shy, wearing a new daughter-in-law's small red jacket, and his hair was also like a bride, coiled behind him, and a red head rope was tied to it.

"This is Huzi's new daughter-in-law, called Qiao'er. It's the girl of the Zheng butcher's family in Lamblou Village. The aunt smiled and took the little daughter-in-law's hand and introduced it to Carpenter Yun, "Qiao'er, this is your uncle, call someone quickly." ”

The girl smiled innocently, stretched out and touched the back of her head embarrassedly, "I know this uncle, I remember that the year before last, my uncle went to my house to do carpenter work." He made the pig-killing board that my dad is using now. It's sturdy! ”

Carpenter Yun also smiled, this Qiao girl knew that she was a kind person as soon as she opened her mouth, married to Huzi, and would be a big fat boy in the future, and she was also a good boy who could live.

When my aunt heard this, the folds on her face were stacked together with a smile, like a wrinkled bean skin, hard and waxy yellow.

"Now that you know that your uncle is good at carpentry, you can sweeten your mouth in the future. Call your uncle a few more times, please your uncle is in a good mood, these days in the next few days, those tables and cabinets in your new house with Huzi, your uncle will replace them with new ones for you. ”

When Carpenter Yun heard this, he also nodded again and again. The nephew is married, and it's time to add a new set of furniture to his new house. When I went back, I went to look for a few good sheets, which I used for my own family, but I couldn't do it.

Yun Xiu put her ear on the crack of the door to eavesdrop on them, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but spit out, "Phew!" "What a shame! When she first hit her, she wanted a set of furniture, and this time she will come to ask for furniture.

"Third sister, is my aunt going to move our things away again?" Si Ni also stuck on the door and eavesdropped with Yun Xiu, she didn't understand what her aunt meant, but seeing her father smiling and nodding vigorously, she looked the same as when her aunt came to the house to get things before, so she asked Yun Xiu curiously.

Yunxiu was thinking about whether to tell Sini about how shameless a person could go when the door in Erniang's room was opened with a bang. Erniang dragged out with a set of knives used by her father for carpentry, stood at the door, took out an axe and carving knife from it, and threw it at the gate regardless of it.

Yun Carpenter was still afraid that Erniang would come out to fight with his sister at first, and was about to step forward to stop him, but after seeing clearly that it was a set of things that were cut with knives and axes, he hurriedly took a few steps back and dodged to the side.

The tools crackled and slammed to the ground, with a crisp sound.

Frightened, the aunt dragged her son, hugged her head and ran out of the door, Zheng Qiao stood there stunned, I don't know why I had a good conversation with my mother-in-law and uncle, why suddenly a madman came out and threw knives at them. But seeing that her mother-in-law and her husband had run out, she also hurriedly greeted Carpenter Yun and followed.

"Not allowed! If I can't say it, I can't say it. "How can Ren Yun carpenter please and plead, Erniang opened her mouth and said: Not allowed.
